HELP! Getting desperate!!!

Hi all,

My Desire is DEAD! :(

I'll explained what I did, and hopefully someone will be able to help me!

I was using Pays-ROM Desire Sense v2.3 before this and it worked perfectly.

When I was trying to move to Pays-ROM Froyo Sense v1.51 A2SD+, I did the following:

Copied the new ROM to a new memory card that I've partitioned using recovery mode.

Did a recovery using <Power Button> plus <Back> key

Forgot to wipe and just proceeded to apply the ZIP

Then tried to do a wipe and the applied the ZIP, but nothing works.

Questions are,

where went wrong?

What can I do just to get my phone up?

Must I use a goldcard when applying the ROM?

Any guidance will be much appreciated!!!

Gotta sleep now - have been fiddling it for the past 4 or 5 hours!!!

:eek:

Karl
[Desire Android Development] phewee:
1st wrong : your "rom.zip" shoul be placed in your SD FAT32, not the partion one.

2nd :goldcard isnt really needed forrooted devices ( mine on orange phone, after rooted nerver touched gold card again :D, it's there for few month now).

What you should do to "wake your phone up"

1st :download fresh rom (what ever u like, payrom, opendedesire...etc)

2nd: download clockwork recovery method (search here or modaco forum)

2 steps above, files should be placed in FAT 32partion from your sd card (must be)

3rd: apply recovery method

4th : wipe data/factory

5th : go to advance, wipe dalvik cache, u could do format sd-ext if u want

6th : choose install zip file from sdcard. navigate to "your-rom.zip"

Last : there u go, leave your phone there, go make a cup of tea ( gonna take a while ) then when u see installation completed, choose reboot and here we go your phoneup again.

U should leave your phone there5 -10 mins for your rom to be stable ( dalvik cache, config blah blah...etc) TIME TO ENJOY YOUR CUP OF TEATHOS. AFter that reboot again.

enjoy nice payrom or waht ever rom u like

HOPE THIS HELP
[Desire Android Development] kargtan:
At least the phone is up

Hi all,

I have managed to get the phone up by applying an old MoDaCo ROM.

Can someone explained where went wrong for me? Was it just the fact that I didn't wipe before applying the ROM?

Thanks in advance!!! I would want to flash this new Pays-ROM ASAP!!!

Thanks!

Karl
[Desire Android Development] Niro206:
Hi Pay87

First of all.. Thnx for making this great ROM!

Everything works fine here(been playing now for 2 hours:))

I've only have one major problem..: Can't install My backup from the market..:(

When i try to do that, it reboots..

I've done all the steps u require..installed the ROM again(maybe i missed a step)

But it didn't work for me..

Can u please help me?

Kind regards,

Kenan
[Desire Android Development] kargtan:
Thanks for your quick reply!

Hi phewee,

Thanks for responding so quickly. Really appreciate it. :) I did manage to get the phone up using a MoDaCo.

I did place my ROM.zip in the FAT32 partition of the partitioned SD, not in ext3.

Is there any difference using the recovery mode in the HBOOT (Power+volume down) menu vs FASTBOOT (Power+back key) menu?

Thanks in advance!

hello

I can't choose a contact to send a message direct from People

Please help!
[Desire Android Development] umbrCorp:
I am not a fan of the ExpressoBar mod and it is hard to get rid off once it is in a ROM.

It's just as easy to flash it after you have flashed the ROM (once it's deodexed) but it's hard to take it off once it has been cooked into the ROM.

Just my 2c as I dislike the look of the ExpressoMod - The "remove" (when you delete items from your home screen) looks weird to me, too square and doesn't flow with the theme.
[Desire Android Development] umbrCorp:
Working for me.

What exactly is the problem?

Can you even open the contact?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Thanks much, been waiting the Pays release, love your ROM's! :D
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
same prob for me too. when we long press a contact in people, there is no option to send sms.

more probs here and there, like, unable to load keyboards through spareparts. though it has installed but not able to activate one.

i guess this time Pays ROM has been a work in hurry :eek:
[Desire Android Development] umbrCorp:
Ok I see what you mean.

Is this occurring with any other ROM's at all? Or just Pay's?
[Desire Android Development] kevinlow:
confirmation on this issue..anyway..this is not a major one for me..as i normally find the contact thru phone application,which allows me to send sms from there...

and i install the htc_ime which i got the apk from xda forum..so..no issue so far..

scored 1320 from quadrant..

pays u the man ...
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
well... all the above said things are happening with me just for this rom only. and i wonder why? not able to install the files as it keeps on saying installation unsuccessful... for some apps like google maps, barrr and others!!!!

wiped again and tried once more but same probs. and yes i am using the new radio.
[Desire Android Development] kevinlow:
googla maps works on my phone though...
[Desire Android Development] orthopaedeflex:
Camera? 720p?
[Desire Android Development] Gerigo-Greece:
Great!! We got what we wanted a Pays -FROYO rom!
[Desire Android Development] basho_o:
Great Rom. Can you please put back the FM radio widget ? I see that it is missing. Also can you remove "HTC Wallpapers" which is empty when trying to remove Wallpaper.
[Desire Android Development] thanito:
I have to report two bugs so far:

-No spare parts preinstalled for me..:S

-No abdlock preinstalled as well..WEIRD!
[Desire Android Development] fsw23:
Bug ?

Facebook Sync not working on my desire with this ROM... :o
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Yup!

All working fine for me so far, very nice ROM... ;)
[Desire Android Development] codeXcalibur:
All things are there and working. Try to wipe ;)
[Desire Android Development] coriron:
looks good! will try it out!
[Desire Android Development] thanito:
i did wipe everything with fakeflash clockwork 2.5.0.1, unless its not working..

anyway i installed spare parts again and its working..

anyone has adblock.apk and htc sms app?
[Desire Android Development] RottenKid:
I've just installed this ROM and till now I don't have any issue with him , I've just miss the HTC keyboard. Is normal or I've made something wrong when I've installed?

market fix zip in that thread there may be others i used the search feature and that was the first i found .
[Desire Android Development] S2kT68m:
1.51 is the perfect ROM, works fine here. Stable und very smooth. Great Job Pay
[Desire Android Development] superbay:
It is a perfect ROM but not for all. Still many users have troubles with reboot issue in installing program. Not only from the market, I even have .apk in my SD card, install it from there, and it still reboots. Works fine there doesnt mean works fine here as well.

Hope this is fixed soon in the next version
[Desire Android Development] Drefsab:
Ok so I tried again, first I wiped my SD card (formatted full thing as fat32). Put on update.zip (clockwork recovery) and the 1.51 rom.

Rebooted and did a wipe/data/factory reset. Then wipe cache partition, then in advanced wiped battery stats.

After that I applied a zip from SD card and reapplied the pays rom (already have the latest radio from previous attempt).

The rom came up fine, ran through the setup, configured my wifi, gmail, facebook and twitter.

Great all looks good fire up the market, accept the agreement, then choose to install Handcent SMS, it downloads install's and...... reboot.

When it reboots ok, plug in the usb copy an apk (beebplayer for example) onto the SD. Fire up estrong file explorer, choose to install that file select unknown sources, and then install etc.... and reboot.

I appreciate that for some people things are working fine but there are a number of us that use custom roms all the time so know the procedure for wiping etc and yet still have issues. Not being able to install any apk or anything of the market is a bit of a show stopper. If your's is working great for you but don't come down on those people that are not so lucky and are simply trying to report the issue and what they have done in an effort to test/report it.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Is this rom deodexed? Also it says trackpad wake but what about trackpad unlock?
[Desire Android Development] paccio:
i formatted SD fat32 ... factory reset (wipe cache and data) installed the rom via recovery .. after the first long boot and the setup i rebooted it in recovery again and wipe cache/data ,, rebooted it and is ok now
[Desire Android Development] Drefsab:
I had that work to but wiping the cache and data after you install the rom wipes out the customizations of the rom such as Adblock / EStrong File Manager etc.

One question to those that have it working though, do you have an ext3 partition on your SD cards?
[Desire Android Development] tuntang:
cool

to me its either this or neophyte's - they're all great roms.
[Desire Android Development] ogeeEn:
Can anybody install HTC-Widgets? It doesn't work for me on this ROM. On other froyo roms it works.
[Desire Android Development] zorantoma:
I have Ext3 particion and it works fine. The only problem for mi was i had no internet connection on first boot. Now is ok.
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
This is going to sound like a really stupid question but...

How do I install the removed apps eg: QuickOffice? Do I unzip the file and use the apk files in there to install? Or do I reboot into recovery mode and install from zip file?

Otherwise awesome ROM! I have not experianced the reboot issue when installing apps and everything is hundreds :).
[Desire Android Development] Tommyblood:
i will try this rom after next patch...seem's to be some issues with the reboots...

in the meanwhile i keep PAY's last froyo rom running...works great for me

just one thing...PLEASE ADD NEXUS LOCKSCRENN... :)

HTC lockscreen unlocks while phones is pant's pocket...
[Desire Android Development] Niro206:
This works good..i can finally install apps from the market.. only by erasing data you lose some apps like "Spareparts" and "Adblock"..
[Desire Android Development] adfrad:
Yes, I too had the reboot when installing apps, and indeed a wipe did fix it, and yeah you so lose a lot of apps and stuff (like the customized version of Spare Parts and HTC IME) which you can't just install from the market.
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:

DCIM folder?

This ROM works great. It's really fast.

One bug found: After taking photos & videos, I connect to PC to see them but they're not there. I cannot find DCIM folder in my SD card. Not sure whether it's hidden or moved to ext2?

Friends, pls test this & report whether you're in same boat with me?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] trion:
Downloaded twice, keep getting that error.

Not willing to wipe again, so too bad, then i won't be going back to this rom.
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
try to wipe just the cache.. should work. Please keep me informed

However I dont mind full wipe.. since i use mybackup and in 5 mins i have all back, apps data and home screen scene.. with 2 taps (yap i know its a paid app)
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
oh beaut! must have missed that bit on the desc.
[Desire Android Development] Tander_ZA:
Is there anyway to do a full backup of my phone and then load this rom and restore backup?

Don't feel like resetting up everything. :(

Hi!

just flashed v1.8.

com.android.settings crashes!

Any suggestion?
[Desire Android Development] trion:
Tried to wipe cache, but didn't help, same error :(

have to try mybackup again, it restored my messages, but didn't restore my homescreens when i tried it.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Please help me out here: I'm tired of trying out different ROMs to find the perfect one for me and have to re-enter my email account details (Google Account, Exchange Server, and about 3 other IMAP accounts that I use!)...how do I use Titanium Backup or some other 3rd party app to restore these settings? I just can't seem to do it right in TiBackup...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] dongnl:
Sorry for asking a dumb question. But is this able to flash this ROM without a second partition(ext, for Apps2SD+)?
[Desire Android Development] legolas93:
Sorry for my english but IMHO

Some icon are bad...for example that go out when i download anything from market..

In general i like very much this rom. Good Work

HTC has opensourced the kernel, is there a plan to provide some uvoc

Thanks for the great work
[Desire Android Development] PJFonseca:
In the update, using the ClockworkMod Recovery, it gives me this error:

E: Failure at line 3

What does this mean? Do i have to wipe first?? If so i pass this update.
[Desire Android Development] Drefsab:
Well I installed 1.8 I got the com.android.settings crash at the start but then the market bug etc was resolved YAY!
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Loving this ROM! Initial impressions only but so far I like the speed and stability...understated but stable. Its a keeper for me! Phew, so many ROMs flashed since 2.2 OTA landed I was starting to have nightmares about flashing!
[Desire Android Development] terman37:
Hi,

This rom is really great.

Only one problem for me:

Picasa is not showing in the share menu of gallery.

Almost perfect. :)

EDIT: FIXED REPLACING mediauploader.apk with the one of defrost 2.5. please include it in next realeases... Now Prefect.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
I'd suggest you do a FULL WIPE first. If that doesn't work, Toggle Verification in your RECOVERY MAIN menu and then try to flash again...;)
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
Thanx god is... Friday?... No! It works!!!

Listen all!

I could be not the first but i want to do e proclame:

IN THIS ROM, FINALLY, I HAVE GOT HOTSPOT TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC!!!!

THANX PAYS!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

Someone can confirm that OpenVPN is working ?
[Desire Android Development] PJFonseca:
The full wipe resolved the question! Now lets recover the last backup made with MyBackup Pro, this application its just awesome worth every penny.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
I don't think its a ROM-specific error...more like process of upgrading maybe? No settings process crash here...try reflashing with a full wipe, and reboot after first boot before you install any apps...realised the more reboots you do after flashing the better and more stable these 2.2 ROMs get. Typical results for me suggest it takes about 7 minutes for a new flash to stabilise with an average of about 3 reboots...just my personal experience.
[Desire Android Development] otto_di2:
about notification sound

Hello everyone.

one good question, in the Froyo 2.2 eg. OpenDesire or deFrost ROM could we mark "Silent" in notification sound, it that not possible in the new HTC Desire 2.2 ROM ???

/Otto
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
hmmm, good point! I hadn't picked up on that one yet. Looks like you're forced to select some type of notification whether you want one or not with no option for SILENT or NO TONE indeed.
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
No way....

I have:

- made a full wipe

- flashed ROM

- reboot BUT DURING FIRST STARTUP I HAVE GOT THAT ERROR

- try again configuration but error pops up again

So...
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Did you do all the wipes in recovery menu: FULL, EXT3/4, BATT STATUS etc etc? Suggest you go through all of them. Also do you have an EXT3/4 on your SD? Is your device totally unplugged from your PC/Mac while upgrading/first reboot takes place?

Strange coz works just perfectly out of the box for me here...:D
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
all

all of them

for sure...
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
The more I play with it, the more I like - thanks for the choice of bootanimations! I hate being locked up into some OPs "weird" choice of bootscreen...
[Desire Android Development] Abandoned-Trolley:
Great ROM, also got the settings FC on startup.

Is it just me or is it also using the old GMail client with the Forward/Reply buttons at the bottom of the text and not one up top near the contact?
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Hmmm, am sorry, can't think of anything else...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Tander_ZA:
Going to give this 1.8v a try. I did like the previous ROM. Was just the Market Place not working that made me change.

Will let you know how I get on! :)
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
I dont know which icons you are talking about, but when you were writing that, I was editing the 1.8 framework-res.apk.

here is my mashup; pulling most from here and the battery from here

oh yeah, wasnt keen on the new smilies so the old ones are here too

flashable framework-res.apk attached; battery sample attached.

edit: the only known non-changed one is the usb-attached notification icon; i couldn't find it in the framework-res.apk. does anyone know which .png it is?
[Desire Android Development] SkyWalker1726:
Is there a Way to change the LockScreen Slider Color to Black ?

seems like it's kinda "brown" ...
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
if its not available, either push a blank file called silent.mp3 to %root%/system/media/audio/notifications

or

sdcard/media/audio/notifications/

in essence it will play a silent mp3 for alerts. isnt there an alert volume option somewhere?

modify the png in your framework-res.apk?
[Desire Android Development] shoonari:
I got FC of ES File explorer everytime after reboot...

my settings are:

in Spareparts

fix permissions - yes

remount /system - as r/w

in Explorer:

root explorer - yes

mount file system - yes

this works great, but right till first reboot. After that i have to go to setting/applications, and clear data there for this application

btw, sorting doesnt work here too :) in this explorer, i mean
[Desire Android Development] otto_di2:
I tried the SDcard trick but that didn't work, the fastest solution maybe taht is me that is lazy?
[Desire Android Development] nzdcoy:
don't know sorry. I did just realise that you can navigate to /system/media/audio/notifications using estrongs; copy the silent.mp3 using a long press in ES, then just press the '/' button to get to %root% and head over to the /system/media/audio/notification directory, press the up arrow (at the bottom of the screen) and press paste, reboot if necessary, then you should have it there.
[Desire Android Development] SkyWalker1726:
and how do i do that ? :confused::D:confused::p

how can i edit pays rom , to get the slider to it's black original color ?

is there any Zip file i can flash ?
[Desire Android Development] Noktus:
Someone can confirm this bug :

I can't install OpenVPN Settings from the Market. (Installation error)

:( :( :(
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Damn, there had a to be a deal-breaker for me, hadn't there?! I have lots of apps and on most of the ROMs I ALWAYS manage to install all of them and still have lots of available internal memory remaning...lowest I've been is I think 70MB on one of LeeDroid's...am halfway with installaing my apps on this one and am down to 2MB despite the A2SD+ tweak!!! I was so loving this ROM...

edited :SOLVED

I just updated from 1.3 to 1.8.

The install went perfectly, after first boot, everything was working like a charm.

However, after restore with titanium and reboot, gmail can't open anymore, it crashes all the time. Also, i had a way better quadrant result with 1.3 than now with 1.8 (1254 vs 950)

Anyone can help me with gmail?

Cheers

Edited: Solved: I'm so dumb, I just had to clear the data and the cache and it worked... However, it still doesn't perform as well as 1.3 according to quadrant.
[Desire Android Development] otto_di2:
Just tried that, it's seem like that I don't have write permission here, so I can't past it?
